Liquor contains far more alcohol per unit of volume than beer. A typical beer is somewhere around 5% alcohol, whereas liquor typically contains over 40%.

Beer contains a large amount of water and therefore helps combat this effect.
Does a 1 oz shot of 86 proof liquor contain more alcohol than a 12 ounce beer?
Rule of thumb: Multiply the volume in ounces by the percentage of alcohol in the drink. 60 is one drink. ex. jigger of standard (80 proof) liquor: 1.5 oz. X 40 % = 60. So 1 oz. X 50% = 50, or 5/6 of a drink. Whether or not this is equal to the beer depends on the alcohol content of the beer. The standard is 5%. For 1 12oz. beer X 5% = 60 or one drink.
